Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 3. Compact forms of complex semi-simple Lie algebras

Every compact simple real Lie algebra of type Bn,n≥1B_n,n\geq 1 (resp. of type Dn,n≥3D_n,n\geq 3) is isomorphic to o(2n+1,R)\mathfrak{o}(2n+ 1,\mathbf{R}) (resp. o(2n,R)\mathfrak{o}(2n,\mathbf{R})).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
